Win or lose, at least we aren't the 0-4 Harden Clippers.

as far as this season goes and the lack of a point guard is getting more annoying each game.

The Suns are not a good basketball team right now.

It's hard to get excited for these games and it shows in this forum.

I really do miss our old team.

Why don't we ever have homecourt advantage? Officials are **** wild.

I think the casual and bandwagoner fanbase is happy though.

Not having any rookies or young talent waiting in the wings is really depressing. All the guys on the team have pretty much already hit their ceiling pretty much.

Why is KBD out of the lineup and why is Okogie starting?

Other teams are allowed to rough KD up waaaay too much every possession.

It'll be exciting once the early season struggles (injuries and chemistry) are smoothed out.

KD doing what he can while being manhandled every single possession every single game. Beal still trying to get into game shape with the minutes restriction. Booker comes back and things will start smoothing out fast, IMO.

you can't just throw a bunch of random players together and expect them to function as a team right away. Specially with no PG. I have no opinion of Vogel but he's in a pretty **** situation. Ishbia might think Book/Beal/Durant can handle the ball alright, but they have no proper PG skills. They can't run an offense and manage the game like a really good point guard...specially the one we had, who might be the best ever at that.
